Nintendo has uploaded a new trailer video from Starfox 64 3D, which highlights what battle mode will look like in the game.

Of course, the video is only in 2D here, but it already looks so damn pretty that I'll take it. Like so many other Nintendo games before it, Starfox will let you battle up to three opponents with only one game card among you! Ah, the joys of local Wi-Fi.

The most interesting part of the new battle mode, however, will be watching your friends' faces, right on the screen, as they battle against you. Now you can see your friends making their best scrunched-up-most-likely-crapping-their-pants face as you barrel roll right past them. Or, you know, the other way around.
